ESPRIT Announces Extended Support for Mazak Smooth Ai CNC
DP Technology, parent company of ESPRIT CAM, has created a streamlined machining experience with ESPRIT’s digital twin inside the CNC. Users can preview the entire machining process virtually on the CNC before executing their program it.
Artificial Intelligence-Powered CAD Sketching Technology
Siemens’ NX Sketch software offers unconstrained concept design sketching within the 3D environment to help increase productivity. Remarkably, NX can recognize tangents and other design relationships to adjust on the fly.
CAM Software Supports Two Additive Manufacturing Processes
DP Technology has tweaked its flagship Esprit CAM software platform to serve a growing fabrication market: 3-D metal printing using powder bed fusion (PBF) and directed energy deposition (DED).
Widely Compatible CAM Probing Cycles for Better Setup, Accuracy
DP Technology, maker of the ESPRIT CAM software, offers a probing option that works with many CNC machines and probing manufacturers. Shops can expect improved part consistency and quality while reducing operator intervention.
Real-Time Machining Simulation for Digital Dentistry
ModuleWorks, Bosch Rexroth and CIMT combined their respective simulation, CNC and milling expertise to create new efficiencies for dental labs and practices. An operator can simulate the dental machining process offline and fix problems before the real job begins.
MecSoft-RoboDK Partnership Facilitates Milling with Robots
The synergistic alliance between Mecsoft and RobotDK means milling solutions can be adapted for robotic milling applications. The RobotDK simulation software supports over 500 robot arms and more than 50 different robot controllers.
Ultimate Nesting for Punching Machines
The latest RADAN software for sheet metal fabrication provides savings on raw materials and quicker nesting production. Users can produce more parts per sheet, so it takes less time to produce a batch – saving about 50 minutes per day for 80 nests.
Mill Just About Anywhere with Single-Phase CNC Machine
When introduced in 2016, Datron Dynamics’ neo used three-phase power. Now, an internally contained transformer provides single-phase power to minimize the CNC milling machine’s footprint while maximizing installation options.
